Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health situation of the Brazilian population
The results of this study showed that Brazil was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of mortality and morbidity. The availability of timely post-pandemic data, as presented in this study, may be highly relevant to inform public policies aimed at promoting healthy behaviors, controlling NCDs, improving mental health care, and supporting specialized care for Long COVID within the public health system.
